The Beyond Awesome Bible
May 4th, 2009 After reading this you may never look at your Bible the same way again.
Although there is still some controversy surrounding ELS codes in the Bible, what I am going to share with you should end the controversy. For anyone still not aware of ELS codes, they refer to the strange fact that words, phrases, complete sentences, and even paragraphs are now being found by high speed computers underneath the surface Hebrew and Greek text of God’s Word in “equidistant letter sequence, or spacing.” For example, a complete paragraph may be written underneath the normal body of the scriptures spelled out with every seventh letter. Obviously, the longer and more complicated the ELS code, the less the chance is that it could happen by random chance.
Today I want to look at two ways God linked the books of the Bible with ELS coding. First, lets examine an unusual phenomenon in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. Between Genesis and Exodus the Hebrew word for torah is found in an ELS with the first letters at the end of Genesis and the remaining letters at the beginning of Exodus. Next, Exodus and Leviticus are linked in the same manner with an ELS of the word torah. In the very middle of Leviticus is an ELS spelling out torah. Then interestingly we find that the two books of Leviticus and Numbers are also linked with torah, but this time torah is spelled backwards. The same is true of Numbers and Deuteronomy, the last two of the five books in the Torah. So torah is spelled forward linking the first two books and Leviticus, and backwards linking the last two books and Leviticus, with torah spelled normally in the center of Leviticus. The first two books and the last two books all have torah pointing toward the center of the Torah. The chances of that happening by random chance is said by experts to be “incalculable.”
Next, let’s look at the Bible as a whole. Skeptics always say that the Bible is just a collection of books put together by man. How wrong they are. I hope you are sitting down for this because it will blow you away. The truth is that all sixty six books of the Bible are linked together with the name “Yeshua” (Jesus). Let that sink in. The word Yeshua starts at the end of Genesis and ends in an ELS code in Exodus. It does the exact same thing sixty five times, linking every one of the sixty six books in the exact order they are found in our Bible. The chances of that happening are probably a gazillion times more than “incalculable.”
To put that in prospective, recently a trillion dollars has been bandied around in the news quite a bit, and it was figured that a trillion one dollar bills stacked on top of each other would stretch sixty thousand miles. But if we want to take a similar picture of the random chance of the name Yeshua linking all sixty six books of the Bible, we would need to pile sheets of thin tissue paper to the very end of the universe, putting a red dot on only one of those sheets and then picking it out blindfolded by random chance. A person would have to randomly choose the one and only correct sheet to prove that it was remotely possible for anything other than God having linked all of those sixty six books in order by equidistant letters sequencing with the name of Jesus.
We must treasure and revere our Bible with the awe it deserves. It was written totally, letter by letter, by the all divine God who created everything, including the uninformed skeptic himself. God’s Word may be the most complex creation of all time, and from Genesis to Revelation Jesus is the focal point.
